Hey all. I was reading the thread, "What Slowlane Jobs Can Be Beneficial for the Fastlane" a few days ago, and thought that it would be a great idea to grab a slowlane job for a few months to learn some of those skills, specifically b2c cold call sales. Now, from everything that I've read about and heard of b2c cold call, they essentially just give you a script and a phone book and let you get to the calling. Sounds like a simple enough concept to pick up. I went to websites like Monster.com to look up cold call sales jobs, and to my great surprise, every single job listed required a 4 year college degree!! What in the world?? I checked again, every day for a week, and it was always the same: 4 year degree required. Most of them listed 2 years experience in cold call sales as an alternative to the degree, but I've never sold anything before so that's a no go. Is there something I'm missing that would make this job require 4 years of schooling to accomplish?
I was noticing that it seems every job I look at, no matter how simple, seems to require a 4 year. I think it's only a matter of time before McDonald's starts requiring a 4 year to work the register.
This presents a massive problem for me if I'm going to go forward and be able to get a job that teaches the skills that will allow me to start a sell a successful fastlane business.
So my question is, does anyone know a way to get around this requirement?
Cheers all!
